Anyone remember waiting for the SSVC videos on the mountain sites before the broadcasts were relayed - eg the joys of 5 nations matches 3 weeks old?
Or the radio - live boxing title fight cuts to the latest wool prices or inter-island flight manifests? The sheepdog Spot with his owner off to Carcass Island again - fascinating! Why is SACW X travelling to Sea lion Island with Flt Lt Y, I wonder? Or the bloody Archers at 5pm! [The BBC was often cut for the local radio].
Radio darts - topped only by the darts season preview featuring 2 of the natives discussing the fixtures? 'Sid from the Globe is always much more accurate after he has had a couple of pints'.
My personal favourite: - Islands trivia quiz. This is true, I swear:
Quiz Master: 'What is Krypton?'
Buzz - Contestant 'A green glowing mineral'.
QM: What is the Russian alphabet known as?
Contestant: 'the Acrylic'.
I suspect the sound of screaming from my skid on Kent could be heard in Stanley. I also decided it was definitely time to go home when I knew the latest prices for wool.
